Raclettelicious

I've been staying here in Neuchatel with my very very good friend, Alex. he's been so kind to me and not too annoyed with me [i forgot to lock the doors to the apartment a couple of times...my bad!]. anyways, he came back from work last night and i told him that we were going to do something fabulous. we got dressed up and went out for dinner at this great little restaurant [the tavern?]. we ate Raclette, had a bottle of white wine and laughed the night away. it was a perfect night.

La Fête des Vendanges


Hello Everyone! Sorry that I haven't written in awhile. I have not been feeling too well and also having been doing a lot of homework the past week. So, the other weekend, something spectacular happened. It a three day spectacle called La Fête des Vendanges. It was awesome! Basically, it's a celebration of the wine harvest, but, funny enough, I only saw maybe a handful of people actually drinking wine. It was super fun though: there was tons of different kinds of food, clothing/accessory shops everywhere, and a different genre of music playing on every corner of downtown. It was packed as well: about 200,000 people went the first night. OMG!!! Do you want to know my favorite part of this event? The confetti. EVERYONE was covered in it. I bet if you took all the confetti and made it into a book, it would be 3,000 pages plus an extra three volumes. It was good fun, but I think I'm a little worn out from it. I didn't go to bed until three every night! Ya partay! I wish that you would have been there. Cheers!
